People enjoy productivity. People love working on things. But they don't enjoy working on things for someone else, all while getting nothing out of it but some financial compensation for their time wasted.
One of the most awful feelings is being too exhausted to work on your own projects. It's so unfulfilling and anti-human nature.
*As minimal financial compensation as possible, which must be constantly fought over too.
